are you a leader also?

[Lefty]

Yes
When I lived in Washington I was a Varsity scout Coach, then Scoutmaster,
Moved to Utah and did the, same thing,. Moved to Idaho, same thing. Ive been an adult scout leader for over 17 years. We've had 18 Eagles in 10 years here in our small troop.

One of my past scouts turned 20 this year. Picked up a bow and killed a 300, 6x6 his first morning out last September. Before last summer that the kid had only shot a bow at scout camp,.. besides lucky the kid is good in the woods
First time Ive been on my bike since last summer. 100 yards down the road my new hip was burning, I thought I should quit. The next mile went well, then so did the rest of the ride,
It is sad when a 56 year old over weight guy still needs to wait or slow the pace for 12 and 13 year olds
